Crashes are gone, but with this, it's going to leak massively if freeamp's
used for any length of time -- PlaylistItem's won't be deleted until program
exit, and that's not good. Freeamp's already bloated enough =)
Hmmm.. probably, the easiest thing to do would be to make another object, say,
the music catalog, own all the PlaylistItems, and only use references to those
objects in the PlaylistManager class.. This would be a fairly simple change
(ie, don't create new PlaylistItems when adding from the catalog to the
playlist), but it doesn't cover the other ways tracks can get added to the
playlist. Bleh. We need a PlaylistItem storage class to own all instances of
a track and stuff, but that's way too big of a change to do this late in the
2.1 release game, IMO.
We just need to release 2.1 and throw out all the crufty stuff for 3.0 =)
